1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundTumor mutation burden (TMB) is emerging as a new biomarker to monitor the response of cancer patients to immunotherapy. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critical in regulating gene expression and play a significant role in cancer-associated immune responses. However, the association between lncRNA expression patterns and TMB levels and survival outcomes remains unknown in colon cancer.

methodsIn colon cancer patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA), a multi-lncRNAs based classifier for predicting TMB levels was established using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method. The association between classifier index and immune-related characteristics of patients was also investigated. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to verify the expression levels of these lncRNAs in normal and CRC cell lines.

resultsThe multi-lncRNAs based classifier had ability to predict TMB level of patients with accuracy (AUC= 0.70), and the general applicability of this classifier was proved in the validation set (AUC= 0.71) and the pooled set (AUC= 0.70). The classifier index was related to three immune checkpoints (PD1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4), the infiltration level of immune cells, and immune response-related score (IFN-γ score, gene expression profiles (GEP) score, cytolytic activity (CYT) score and MHC score). A nomogram, which integrates classifier and some common clinical information, was able to predict the overall survival of colon cancer patients accurately.

conclusionLncRNA expression patterns are associated with TMB, which may serve as a classifier to predict the TMB in colon cancer patients. The nomogram could potentially evaluate survival outcomes and provide a reference to better manage colon cancer patients.
